Yes because if you simplify them, both are going to give x= -3

Answer: it would take 280 miles before Laura pays the same amount for both plans..
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of miles that Laura drives using either the first plan or the second plan
Let y represent the total cost of x miles when using the first plan
Let y represent the total cost of x miles when using the second plan
The first plan has an initial fee of $55.98 and costs an additional $0.13 per mile driven. This means that the total cost of x miles would be
y = 0.13x + 55.98
The second plan has an initial fee of $69.98 and costs an additional $0.08 per mile driven.This means that the total cost of x miles would be
z = 0.08x + 69.98
To determine the number of miles that Laura would drive before the amount for both plans becomes the same, we would equate y to z. It becomes
0.13x + 55.98 = 0.08x + 69.98
0.13x - 0.08x = 69.98 - 55.98
0.05x = 14
x = 280
Answer:
3a³ - 6a² - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
X²Y - Z
= a²(3a - 5) - (a² + 2) ← distribute both parenthesis
= 3a³ - 5a² - a² - 2 ← collect like terms
= 3a³ - 6a² - 2
Since the person had $408.98 to begin with and took away/withdrawal ($178.67+$100=$278.67) $278.67 and then added/deposited $214.87....
$408.98-$278.67+$214.87=$345.18
